Likes police lingo, appreciates their good work

At my job (bartender,) we have a rather bland, run-of-the-mill way of talking to each other when we want to just speak among ourselves. Such as “86 the potato juice for the nutbag at the end of the bar!”

I should have been a doctor so at least once in my life I could say the word “stat.”

But in my opinion, by far the coolest dialect at any work place has to be within the ranks of the police department. Can you think of any time, in any occupation in the world you get to say, “drop a dime on a perp?”

And if that’s not cool enough, if there’s a person you can’t locate, when are you ever going to get to say, “the unsub’s in the wind” if you’re not a cop? Never.

All joking aside, the police do a marvelous job at probably the hardest, most difficult, most dangerous job there is. Keep up the cool talk and the good work!
